The Insightful Scribe

You find them everywhere this time of year plastered on posters, the internet, You Tube and even at local churches!The bone chilling tales of animal sacrifice, orgies and a god of the dead called Samhain will captivate you if you’re not careful.You may find yourself caught up in their brew of misconceptions and manipulation.The green face with a crooked nose and wretched teeth stirs believers into excitement with good triumphing over evil. However…the mask of the witch is the devil's disguise. Now that I have your attention, let me explain... During my Wiccan years, I remember them… I call them the E’s (exaggerators and embellishers).Mind you, those that put on the face of a witch may actually have dabbled in some form of witchcraft and have an honest heart for those involved. However, their exaggerated tales need self-examination.While it’s nice to rally the crowd, we have a greater calling. Jesus gave us a commission to reach the world with His love, not stir the church with false witness and fear. God has placed on my heart a desire for His love and light to be revealed to those that don’t know him, not widen the gap. Believe me, the real witches can see the face behind the mask… so take it off and show the true nature of God.Be content with His story in your life, whatever that may entail. There is no testimony too great or small that God cannot use for his glory. If he saved you from alcoholism, drugs, prostitution or the Wall Street stock market, share the miracle God has done in you.
